Acquisitions to extend Otovo's behind-the-meter platform into Hawaii and strengthen its service capacity in Europe

OSLO, Norway: Otovo ASA (Euronext Oslo Børs: OTOVO; “Otovo”), a leading provider of behind-the-meter energy services for homes and businesses, today announced it has entered into two non-binding letters of intent (LOIs) to acquire (i) PV Hawaii, LLC (“PV Hawaii”), a solar operations and maintenance provider based on Oahu, and (ii) Mr. Elektro AS (“Mr. Elektro”), a Norwegian solar and electrical contractor for a combined purchase price of approximately USD 4.6 million.

These acquisitions, if completed, will extend Otovo's behind-the-meter service platform into Hawaii for the first time and add licensed, in-house installation and service capacity in Norway with immediate reach into Sweden. Otovo will bring its Endurance™ AI platform to PV Hawaii and Mr. Elektro’s local field crews and customer relationships, enabling faster service and real-time visibility.

• Adds 17th U.S. state and expands reach in Europe
• PV Hawaii brings a licensed, OSHA-trained field crew and a referral-built customer base across Oahu, where Otovo has not previously operated
• Mr. Elektro brings a 12-year-old, owner-led electrical business focused on solar and EV chargers with full contractor authorizations in Norway and Sweden
• Integration of Endurance™ into operations is expected to enable synergies through automated intake, dispatch, scheduling and supply-chain while providing customers faster service
• Both transactions are among the three additional M&A transactions, in addition to Green Panel announced earlier this week, already reflected in Otovo’s Q4 2026 annualized run-rate guidance of USD 105-115 million revenue and USD 15-20 million adjusted EBITDA, upgraded in the Q2 2026 report
